Has The Cleveland Show Been Canceled?

Weeks after a blog run by the leaders of The Animation Guild reported that the animated series was canceled, Fox sources have denied the claim, saying that no decision has been made about the show's future.

At least part of the reason for The Cleveland Show's hazy future is the fact that Fox's Sunday animation lineup is already full, with returning shows Family Guy, American Dad and Bob's Burgers coming back next season, along with the new series Murder Police.

No additional episodes of The Cleveland Show, which is currently scheduled to air through May, have been ordered, but in the past, other Fox animated shows, such as King of the Hill and Family Guy, have been put on extended hiatuses before coming back.

However, because the production time on animated shows is so much longer than live-action projects, these shows are usually renewed months in advance. The Cleveland Show's current fourth season was first announced in May 2011. A spin-off of Family Guy, the comedy first debuted in September 2009.
